Abstract: An antenna for a telecommunications device, particularly for a mobile telecommunications device such as a cell phone, portable computer or walkie-talkie, which has at least one conductor radiating element for sending and receiving communications data on a frequency band at a set resonance frequency, wherein the radiating element is at least partially inside a housing attached to at least one housing component of the communication device.  The task of the invention is to make an antenna for telecommunications devices that is as small as possible and universally applicable, and withstands changing environments, specially different housings for cell phones without significantly affecting the sending and receiving capacity. The issue has thus been solved through an antenna comprising at least one additional conductor correcting element that is attached to the housing component, working in combination with the radiating element and compensating for the effect caused by this housing component on the resonance frequency of the radiating element.

Patent CA-2577331-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KHANDEKAR AAMOD
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2005-08-19
Abstract: To transmit a multi-carrier signal, a transmitter provides zero symbols for guard subbands, performs OFDM modulation, and filters the resultant time-domain samples with a pulse shaping filter. To transmit a single-carrier signal, the transmitter partitions the single-carrier signal into segments.  Each segment contains up to K samples and is padded, if needed, to the length of an OFDM symbol. Each padded segment is transformed from the time domain to the frequency domain to generate a corresponding frequency-domain segment with K symbols. For each frequency-domain segment, the symbols corresponding to the guard subbands are set to zero. Each frequency-domain segment is then transformed from the frequency domain to the time domain to generate a corresponding time-domain segment. A cyclic prefix may or may not be appended to each time-domain segment. Each time-domain segment is filtered with the same pulse shaping filter to generate an output waveform for the single-carrier signal.

Inventor: LI JUNYI
IPC: G01S19/25
Filed: 2005-10-13
Abstract: Wireless terminals, e.g., mobile nodes, receive, identify, and measure broadcast signals from a plurality of cells (see Figure 1). They determine relative transmission power relationships corresponding to the received measured signals and determine at least two channel gain ratios. A geographic area is determined corresponding to the obtained at least two channel gain ratios and information indicating the geographic region in which such gain ratios may be detected. Each cell's base station transmits broadcast signals, e.g., beacon signals, pilot signals, and/or assignment signals for one more carriers. Some base stations use multiple carriers at different power levels.  Some adjacent cells use different power levels for the same carrier. This carrier diversity approach tends to reduce overall interference in the system, yet provides mobiles with a variety of different strength signals which may be monitored and which vary as a function of distance from the source transmitter.

Title: User interface manager and method for reacting to a change in system status
Inventor: SIBLEY RICHARD PAUL
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2007-08-16
Abstract: A user interface manager, interposed between a Windows service and user interface modules that communicate with the Windows service in distinct system status scenarios, can record interaction between the Windows service and each of the user interface modules. The recorded interaction, along with information collected from the user interface modules, can be used in conjunction so that user interaction with a first one of the user interface modules may continue with a second one of the user interface modules after a switch from one system status (e.g., logged on) to another system status (e.g., locked). Alternatively, responsive to the switch from one system status to another system status the user interface manager may simply stop the executing user interface module so that the interaction may be started over in the new system status.

Patent CA-2604323-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NAROVLYANSKY MAX
IPC: G01N21/59
Filed: 2006-04-19
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to microfluidic structures, and more specifically, to microfluidic structures and methods including meandering and wide channels. Microfluidic systems can provide an advantageous environment for performing various reactions and analyses due to a reduction in sample and reagent quantities that are required, a reduction in the size of the operating system, and a decrease in reaction time compared to conventional systems.  Unfortunately, the small size of microfluidic channels can sometimes result in difficulty in detecting a species without magnifying optics (such as a microscope or a photomultiplier). A series of tightly packed microchannels, i.e., a meandering region, or a wide channel having a dimension on the order of millimeters, can serve as a solution to this problem by creating a wide measurement area. Although this invention mainly describes the use of meandering and wide channels in heterogeneous immunoassays on a microfluidic chip, this invention could be used for amplifying optical signals for other types of reactions and/or assays.

Abstract: An adhesive is provided containing at least one synthetic polymer with receptor sites that enable the selective capture or release of a target molecule. A polymer is synthesized by polymerizing and cross-linking a functional monomer or functional copolymers in the presence of a target or template molecule allowing for reversible interactions between the polymer and the target molecule. The target molecule may be extracted from the polymer creating receptor sites complimentary to the target molecule. Alternatively, the target molecule may remain in the polymer network and be controllably released. The molecularly imprinted polymer is formulated into an adhesive.  The adhesive can be used as a component in an in-vitro diagnostic device to release template molecules or to capture target molecules in vacated receptor sites in the synthetic polymer.
